How Does the Nissan Safety Shield System Protect You?

Vehicle Safety Feacturs Nissan

Nissan goes out of its way to protect its vehicle drivers and occupants with a suite of individual safety systems on board. In fact, the company prioritizes safety to such an extent that it has received awards from major automotive watchdogs. What do you need to know about the Nissan Safety Shield System if you’re considering buying a new car at our Nissan dealer serving Glendale Heights, Naperville, Elgin, and all surrounding areas.

Award-Winning Technology

In 2023, both the Nissan Pathfinder and Nissan Rogue were given the “top safety pick” award by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). This shows how advanced these systems are, and how they should give you great confidence with every drive.

Six Safety Features

There are six Nissan safety features within the system. These utilize cameras, radio technology, and sonar to give you comprehensive protection, constant monitoring, and intervention if necessary.

Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection

This tech will give the driver audio and visual alerts where an obstacle is detected. The system can even apply the brakes automatically to try and avoid a collision.

Blindspot Warning

This feature will help you see if there is a vehicle in your blind spot area. It will sound a chime, which can help you change lanes with confidence.

Lane Departure Warning

This feature will help you keep in your lane and avoid any unwanted “drift.” If the system anticipates that you may be drifting over without meaning to, it’ll warn you through a steering wheel vibration.

High Beam Assist

As you know, you should dip your high beam whenever you see a vehicle coming towards you at night. However, this feature can automatically do this for you when it senses oncoming traffic.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert

It’s never easy to back out of a parking lot into a potentially busy lane. However, the Rear Cross Traffic Alert system will let you know if there is an approaching car that might be out of sight.

Rear Automatic Braking

This feature will look out for you as you reverse to make sure that there are no stationary items you may not have seen. If the system detects anything and you fail to act, it can automatically engage the brakes. This should help avoid a rear collision or at least lessen the severity of any impact.
